These ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ Stick with talk.lists. Both 'statistic' and 'survey' have technical meanings that would result in confusion between the new group and sci.math.stat...

I'm not convinced that talk.lists would get the lists out of the newsgroups they're currently in. Perhaps people would crosspost to talk.lists, but I'd still expect them to post to the group most appropriate to the list being discussed. -- Geoff Allen \ Driggs, Idaho -- cultural hub of the west! {uunet|bigtex}!pmafire!geoff \ ucdavis!egg-id!pmafire!geoff \ (Tom Harper in rec.skiing)
